Goodwill Zwelithini, the Zulu king whose remarks kicked off the Xenophobic attacks in South Africa has appealed for peace.
Killing of foreigners started in South Africa after the King was quoted saying “All foreigners must leave South Africa.”
Speaking with his subjects Monday, April 20th in Durban, the king said his remarks were taken out of context.
In his words “This violence directed at our brothers and sisters is shameful. My speech … was directed at the police, calling for stricter law enforcement, but that was never reported. The public was instead given another side of my speech, which had been twisted and misrepresented.” he said.
He pleaded with South Africans to stop attacking foreigners.
